built by that place, five or six miles to the
right 1t is said that the object in locatin q

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, of Union, has severed its connection
with the State and National Union, on
account of the woman suffrage element
contained in official printed matter, and in
the addresses of some of its leading advO-
Gates lately in the North and South. When
these women joined the Woman's Christian
Temperance Union they were not Informed
that such plank existed in the National
platform. 1t certainly was not embodied
in the printed work on organization fur
nished them, and as soon as they realized
the fact they Indignantly withdrew. Wo-
man suffrage would double the colored vote
of the South. 1t would add but very little
to the white vote.
News reached Clark's Hill, Edgefield coun-
ty, Wednesday, that difficulty occurred
Tuesday near the Shaw mill, between Isome
Hilery and Pete Mccartney, in which the
former was seriously wounded in the head
with large slugs, and is not expected to re-
cover. 1t seems Isome has been threatening
PeteS life for several months, and about a
week since he forbade Pete travelling a
public road leading near Isome's house.
Yesterday Pete had occasion to travel the
road to haul cotton to the gin, and suspect
ing that lSome might interfere with him, he
prepared himself with a shotgun. The two
met in the road and Isome said TO Pete: II
forbade you travelling this road and PROM
ised TO kill you, and | am going to do it,"
whereupon Pete shot him in the face and
through the head. Pete has not disappeared
and says he does not intend to, as he thinks
he was perfectly justifable in shooting
Isome.
